Want your pup’s mug on a mug? ☕️

Our creative team is about to work on some cute puppy illustrations but we need some inspo. Our followers have the cutest puppies (or cute dogs that used to be the cutest puppies) so we thought we’d ask you guys for help!

Simply add the hashtag to a cute puppy photo already on your gram, or add a new post – if we end up using your pup, we’ll make and send you a mug with your puppy on it.

In the meantime, we’ll be patiently waiting to see puppy spam (the best kind of spam).

Daily Mail has just dropped an article on Scratch and yeah yeah, we’re blushing 😊

Our Co-Founder Mike linked up with their journos recently to dig into his vision – storming an unregulated, profit-driven industry that’s unmotivated to change. A vision that’s spoken to 30,000 (and counting) owners who just want to feel good about what they're feeding their dogs.

It’s because of our customers we’ve been able to keep this vision alive. Cooking more food. Feeding more Aussie dogs. And making it possible to donate 2% of all our revenue to dog welfare and climate change orgs.

‘Coz if an industry can’t be arsed changing, then you may as well change it yourself.

🗞 Read more here:

Dog owner Mike Halligan was tired of store-bought food making his dogs sick so decided to take matter into his own hands. He co-created Scratch Dog Food which had sold $10million worth of healthy kibble.

19/05/2023

That’s right, Mike is donning an apron and heading into the kitchen to raise funds for this year’s CEO cook off.

Next Wednesday he’ll join leaders from a bunch of businesses to prepare food for the two million households in Australia struggling to put food on the table.

👨🏼‍🍳 Want to get involved?

There’s never been a more crucial time to come together and help feed people in need. We've just donated $18,000 and would love to get to $20,000 with your help. If you can spare some dollars, it would help us continue to smash our goal amount to support the amazing work OzHarvest are doing.

Dry dog food gets a bad rap… and fair enough too.

We’d worked in the pet food industry for 8 years and saw how good intentions at the start turned into pretty suss food once the costs came in.

So we created Scratch, skipping stores and making a healthier dry food shipped direct for your dog 🎉

Without the mark-ups, we’re able to spend 40% more on whole Aussie ingredients and meat from the human food supply chain - not the ‘pet food meat’ making its way into most food.

See how our 3 recipes are helping over 20,000 Aussie dogs to improve their gut health and grow up strong, or give our team a shout and see if it’s a good fit for your dogs 🐶

Ugh… it’s happened again. 🤦

Dogs have died because of dodgy meat and Australia’s preventably bad pet food regulations (or lack of).

But there’s a better way of doing dog food. We started Scratch because Australians deserved a dog food brand they could trust.

A look at where the Australian dog food industry is falling down and what's going on with all of these dog food recalls. Poor dogs :(

🇦🇺 Did you know we're 100% Aussie made and owned and completely independent? Yup, unlike most dog food sold in Australia, we aren't owned by an overseas chocolate company (although some of us can't say no to a Snickers).

A shocking 95% of dog food sold in Australia is actually owned by overseas companies. Most major brands available nationally have one thing in common: they’re owned by massive foreign-owned groups. Mars (from the US) and Nestle (from Switzerland) are behind pretty much every dog food you’ve ever...
